This video demonstrates a technique for selectively removing specific cells from a mixed 3D cell culture through near-infrared photoimmunotherapy. In this method, targeted cells are accurately identified using an antibody conjugated with an NIR photoabsorber. Subsequent irradiation with infrared light induces cell death, effectively eliminating the targeted cells from the 3D culture.
Protocol
NOTE: The following protocol describes the necessary steps to eliminate specific cells using Near infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT). Controls and other details about NIR-PIT and cell viability can be found elsewhere. 1. Conjugation of Infrared 700 (IR700) to Monoclonal Antibodies (mAb) Prepare mAb of interest at 2-5 mg/ml in 0.1 M disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4) (pH 8.6) solution. Mix 6.8 nmol of mAb w…

(B) Repeated NIR-PIT completely eliminated target cells (A431-luc-GFP) with no harm to non-target cells (3T3-RFP), in a mixed 3D spheroid. Bar = 200 µm. (C) Quantification of luci…
